First Lady Lawana Otey: Lady Lawana is the model of what a wife should be. Always standing by her husband caring for his every need, traveling with him and supporting him. Our First Lady is a one woman support team. Affectionately called “Mawana” by her many adopted children, first lady is just like the mother hen of the church. She currently has several responsibilities at church such as, heading M.C.C.I.’s”Women Of Vision” ministry team, the “Seniors Ministry” and also faithfully serves as the church sexton. Always moving, you almost need roller skates to keep up with her.  She is always on a mission to help others. When she hears of a need, she stops what she is doing to help. Her caring and sharing knows no bounds. There is a song that says, “You can’t beat God’s giving no matter how you try”.  Though Lady Lawana isn’t trying to beat Him, that’s where she takes all of her cues.
